We went shopping for Jake's Halloween costume this weekend. That was the most fun I've had in months. He had me laughing so hard and trying not to laugh so that he wouldn't notice! As soon as we turned down the aisle he went nuts with excitement. I said offhandedly that we had to find one the right size. His little chubby finger was pointing to every costume and he kept saying...."Right D'ere, Right D'ere, Right D'ere Mommy!!" So excited, and in so many different directions, that little finger and his cherubic, upturned face seeking a costume his size.
He finally decides on a Green Power Ranger, even though he's 3 and all the costumes started at 4-6 years, we tried one on. He's a big boy so it fit him well, though the arms and legs were too long. He was in rapture, sliding around on the floor of Target in socks and that very GREEN costume. And if you're not in the mommy brigade you won't have noticed that all the costumes this year have built in padding for muscles. Now, a 3 year old with chiseled six-pack abs is something you don't see too often, lol.
Jake's first Halloween he was a pumpkin. He was adorable and had no idea what we were doing. Being very social he soon got the hang of knocking on everyone's door and walking right in their houses! For weeks afterward I had to drag him away from all my neighbors doors before he rang their bells. His second Halloween he realized what candy was and that he could get some at every door. So, then it was a two-fold event, keeping him out of the neighbors houses and leaving some candy for the next round of kids. I can't wait to see what happens this year! I haven't had this much fun at Halloween since I was a little girl.
Halloween is coming, it's just around the corner.....Right D'ere, Right D'ere, Right D'ere!!!
